Weiner and Spitzer

Two Democrats are running for office again in New York.
Anthony Weiner, a Congressman, is running for Mayor and is the frontrunner.
Elliot Spitzer, a former governor for a little more than a year, of NY State, is running for comptroller.
Anthony, you might remember, sent nude pictures of himself to teenagers and others.
Elliot Spitzer, you might recall, spent $80,000 in one year on prostitutes.

They are both liberal Democrats.

Let me suggest that Democrats might say of these two men "they should run; why let sex scandals ruin the lives of two very intelligent men? I say 'live and let live', we have no right to judge."

Let me speak for some Republicans when I suggest they might say "here's two men who think so little of themselves or their families and friends and constituents that they'd engage in terribly risky behavior. While nobody has a right to judge, shouldn't discernment tell us that men who are this reckless with themselves might not be the best choices for public office?"

(I like to think Republicans would say that about Mark Sanford of S. Carolina, who had an affair on his wife and four young sons, but the state of N. Carolina voted him in as Congressman in May of this year and I'm sure a lot of Republicans voted for him.)

Character never counts in the world of politics. But here, I think there is something more going on ... beyond two slimy reptiles seeking to reenter a lucrative business: scoundrelism. Below the surface, if you look carefully enough, you will find that Spitzer has Weiner envy. If Anthony can do it, then darn it, so can Elliot. "Move over big boy," he must have said to himself, "Here I come."

Liberals stand for amoral piggery, so the actions of these men can't be held against them.

The same actions will always be used against conservatives like David Vitter, as the Leftwing Duck so dutifully quacked, becuase Vitter had the temerity to espouse Christian values, which he famously violated.

So, by liberal duck logic, only the immoral dregs of society may be given a free pass.

See how the nefarious leftist agenda works?

Only perfect Christians pass muster with them.

Wait! ... As any humble follower of Christ understands all too well, there are not perfect Christians.

Check out Wikipedia comparing Weiner to Vetter. Vetter's scandal's mentioned in some detail. Including a quote by The Nation slamming Republicans for not getting rid of him. Apparently, Dems are okay to re-run men much worse than Vitter.Weiner only says "he was caught sexting." You'll laugh. Amazing.

Ducky has just committed the fallacy of expressing himself through the vehicle of optical recticality, seeing all events through the same, crappy viewpoint.

The basic idea he espouses is that if crappy conduct happened in some past event, it is permissible for someone to do so, now. Following this logic, since Stalin spied on all Russians,etc., it is permissible for Obama to spy on all Americans.

You would think that Bill Clinton lowered the moral bar for politicians with the Monica Lewinsky affair, but Democrats have always been that way.

Ducky lends credence to the optical recticality dimension of Democrats, or maybe it is moral relativity. Either way, we know what the nation is up against, morally, with Democrats. They have none.

You mention Bill Clinton, AKA the Coward-In-Chief. I wouldn't argue with your point about Democrats having always been that way. But [his] total lack of rectitude and respect for women and his craven denial of sexual exploits, both consensual and otherwise, and the tacit approval from the Liberal Feminists of him and his behavior, opened my eyes, wide, to their hyper-hypocritical way(s) of thinking. Clinton is one of the poorest excuses for a man that has ever defiled the White House.

What everyone criticizing Clinton fails to realize is that Mr. Clinton was a chronic misogynist and a sexaholic. This means that he is unable to control his passions, does not know right from wrong, and no longer has the power of choice. Bill Clinton is thus protected under federal law; he is entitled to unlimited do-overs, and along with this “get out of jail” card, he is also entitled to a lifetime handicap decal for his car.

And this, of course, means that he will be forever loved by the progressive left.

Just like the clinton deal. It's NOT that he had sex with anyone(he had sex with everyone I think.) It's that he put himself in a very compromising position and what could an external force gain in terms of an advantage over America by gaining an advantage over the POTUS ?

Is this so hard to understand ?What did Vlad Putey Pute get from clinton in favors and advantages? Middle East Dictators, you name it.

This is the main problem, then you step down to - do you want to give all that power and money to people who think they can just do whatever they want, treating the public like the moronic dependent dumbasses they are at will ?Reference the entire democrat party, and the entire obama administration of incompetent, arrogant thieving bastards who have such little respect for the populus they don't even put an effort in to conceal it.

And people vote enthusiastically for that shit.

And yes, nothing but lip service from the repubs too, but at least they quit when they get caught.

Sanford had a LOVE affair. It was undoubtedly foolish, but it was a LOVE affair.

Spitzer was a WHOREMASTER, and little Anthony was so proud of his wiener, he felt compelled to display it in a PUBLIC venue.

Comparisons between Sanford and those other two are specious.

However, we, the Great American Public, know NOTHING about the nature of the relationship between any of those men and their wives. Because we know nothing, we are incompetent to judge them harshly.

New York City is my home town. Largely because of "White Flight," a phenomenon the reason for which could easily be laid at the feet of the mostly-corrupt Democrats who ran the City for too many years, the great City became what it is today -- Sodom on the Hudson, where only the very rich, the wretchedly poor, a few highly distinguished artists and performers, and the more outré elements in society can survive.

Therefore, it is only natural that such an environment would make it not only possible, but very likely that an individual of little Anthony's obnoxious ilk could be elected mayor.

As someone who desires the repeal of of the 17th Amendment and the return of state legislatures appointing Senators to Washington (and the subsequent end of national political parties that would go with it) I can't say I really care who people from other states elect. Both of those aforementioned Demoslugs are running for local and state offices outside my right to participate and well below any power that would affect me.

I find it unbelievable that this POS and his horrible record isn't recognized in it's totality . Not only was he a lying sack of $#!t to avoid his military obligation, that he promised to fulfill, (Commander-In- Chief later) but he garnered a record of sexual misconduct that rivals no President in history. Anyone that could support him or his scumbag wife is a complete misinformed idiot!

Absolutely right! Those liberals and their immoral ways! It's just business as usual for the libs! They have no morals, and we can blame their liberalism on that. Not like our fine, upstanding conservative leaders, like David "Diaper" Vitter. Or Ted Haggard. Mark Ensign. Mark Foley. Mark Sanford. (What is it about guys named "Mark"?) Larry Craig. Fine, upstanding conservatives all!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away fromextinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must befought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day wewill spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children whatit was once like in the United States where men werefree." -- Ronald Reagan
